Late-WWII U.S. Swivel Loop McCord M1 Helmet Shell (November 1944)
This is an original WWII McCord manufactured M1 helmet shell. It exhibits a manganese steel rim meeting at the rear. The heat stamp of 113_J dates the helmet's production to November 1944. The helmet retains its original factory finish, cork texture, and OD#3 (khaki) chinstraps. The chinstraps are fraying, but remain intact. This M1 helmet shell would pair quite nicely with a liner with blackened brass A-washers.
